Iv been hearing alot of rumors floating around that these will be banned throughout canada with the coming new year. I have yet to find anything in print about it mainly just word from shops. Anyone have any light to shed on this?
It's just a rumer , it's been floating around ever since the US ban took effect. Closest it ever came to reality was last year when a proposal was made to tighten regulations on many species including channa on a federal level but nothing ever came of it and in the end the laws were not changed.
So no federal ban on import or ownership but Some provinces have bans they are :
Quebec -ban on all channa & parachanna
Ontario-ban on all channa & parachanna
BC- ban on all channa & parachanna
Manitoba - ban on Channa Argus only.
Hope that helps clear it up!
In All other provinces they are completely legal.
